We are two short days from December, and there has been a bit of a chill in the air; appropriately, the second release in the wonderfully terrifying Nordic Creatures series is here: Frost Giant.
Frost Giant is the second design of five in the series created from the artistic mind of Howard David Johnson, produced by Julie Lindquist at Anonymous Mint.
While appearing fearsome and destructive, the Frost Giants were not necessarily evil creatures. Though they were often in conflict with the gods of the Aesir, like Odin and Thor, the Frost Giants were typically only guilty of misdoings when manipulated to do so.
Johnson’s depiction of Frost Giant shows an enormous creature, ravaging the lands of Jotunheim, where they resided. In one mighty hand, Frost Giant clutches his soon-to-be snack, a steer. In the other, he wields a club to fend off any would be predators. Wading through murky waters with ominous skies looming overhead, Frost Giant looks like a beast best avoided. The commonly shared reverse throughout the series features Yggdrasil, the World Tree of Norse legend. 
The immense success of the inaugural Nordic Creatures round, Nidhoggr, has created great excitement for collectors looking to acquire each striking design. Nidhoggr has nearly sold out of each antiqued and proof round, so, if you haven’t picked up yours yet, don’t wait!
Celebrate the chill with Frost Giant from Provident Metals, available now as a 1 oz Silver Proof Round, 1 oz Antiqued round, 5 oz Silver Proof Round, 5 oz Silver Antiqued Round, and 1 oz Copper Round.
